Zhang Yanke's position in Zheng Haizhu's heart, in the words of her when she was still in modern society, is not only an angel investor in the early days of her Songjiang business, but also the "white glove" of Zhou Zuo, the current governor of Fujian and the future merchant of the Ministry of Officials.

Therefore, after talking about the political conditions, Zheng Haizhu pointed to Zheng Zhilong, adhering to the routine of the original Lu Domain, and explained the economic benefits to Zhang Yanke: "If the governor of Fujian is replaced, I don't know which one, if it is not good with Yu Zhigao, the chief soldier of the naval division, then the new military master may not give me the order for Minhai firearms to my Songjiang Artillery Factory." In this way, every year I send you Zhang and Shang two thank-you gifts, and you have to change the account, so the younger brother of the first official was invited by me to come back to preside over the Haoming Trading Company, and in the future, if you take the ship along the coast of Zhejiang, if you have any brothers-in-law and uncles in your family, you can also recommend them to him, and we can earn money together."

Zhang Yanke, who has a lot of active brains, coupled with the foreshadowing that he talked about for a long time before, immediately smiled and said, "My son likes your temperament like this, where the first half of your heart pretends to be righteous and the other half pretends to be business. You can rest assured, the official department is called the heavenly official, and the Wenxuan Division is the land of the top cow, can arrange people for the household department and the military department, can't Tianjin move? If you turn back to Tianjin, it will also be switched, so wouldn't it be closer to the port of Hirado, where an official is calling for wind and rain in the Japanese country?"

Zheng Haizhu picked up the wine cup: "You used to give me charcoal in the snow, but now you are giving me the icing on the cake, third son, I will toast you a few more glasses."

In this way, the three of them talked about the current situation and secrets between Beijing and the locality, the mainland and the sea and the frontier, and sorted out the way that there will be rules and regulations in the public and private in the future, Zhang Yanke said goodbye: "I will go first, and I have to be a filial son."

Zhang Yanke's father, Zhang Lianfang, is a collector of calligraphy, painting and antiques who has lived in Beijing for a long time, and in the past two years, he has introduced many wealthy families in his circle of friends to Zheng Haizhu's business, so that Zheng Haizhu's business company has earned a lot of silver in brocade silk and Songjiang embroidery from those grandmothers who spend money without blinking.

Zheng Haizhu is also constantly giving back to Mr. Zhang according to his turnover, just like the "rebate" given to intermediaries in later generations.

Today, she came even more prepared, took out an old object, handed it to Zhang Yanke, and said: "That's right, I won't go to the house to disturb, this gold wine glass with rhinoceros horns, I asked someone to find it from Luoyang, and I found the broker on the road over there to palm it first, it should be a thing from the Tang Dynasty." You dedicate it to our grandfather for me."

Shaoxing said that his father was called "Grandpa", and Zhang Yanke, who took over this treasure, did not forget to take advantage of a sentence when he got up: "Okay, I told the old man that his goddaughter-in-law is filial."

After Zhang Yanke left, Zheng Haizhu was ready to enter a more secret topic, and wanted to discuss with Zheng Zhilong how to let his cronies pretend to be Japanese and Korean merchants and connect with Mu Zaohua, who had entered the Houjin King City.

Zheng Zhilong returned to Daming this time, and when he heard that Wu Bangde was martyred, he also sighed in his heart, and then heard Zheng Haizhu's arrangement about Mu Zaohua, and couldn't help but secretly praise it, close to Zhu Zhechi, Sister A's female subordinates are all so courageous.

Then, a man with a superior mind like Zheng Zhilong quickly realized from the various details explained by Zheng Haizhu that she was very cautious about the layout of the intelligence team.

Sister never seemed to trust people 100%.

Therefore, from Shandong to Nanzhili, the intelligence officer is Li Daniu. The Jingshi is currently led by Chen Sanni and Hua Er, and the subordinates of the two female chiefs, there are men and women, either Liaomin from Chongming, or Shandong slender men who have become family members, all of whom Zheng Haizhu fished them out of their hard days.

Outside Shanhaiguan and Xifengkou, all the way to Mongolia and Liaodong, it was Xu Sanguan, who was the first to follow Zheng Haizhu to run the canal wharf and outside the Guan.

The chief officers of the three lines did not communicate with each other, and only reported to Zheng Haizhu on a single line, and then listened to her instructions.

"Official, even if they all rely on me to not live like a wild dog, I can't trust their loyalty 100%. This loyalty is not only to me, but to Daming. If the intelligence system does not divide the pieces, any one of them is tempted by ***, or is bought by the landlords, even if they don't want my life because of the grace of the old master, Da Ming will suffer a big loss."

Zheng Zhilong understood Zheng Haizhu's train of thought, and after learning about the most secret person in Hetuala, he couldn't help but ask, "Then Sister, don't worry about me?"

"If you weren't you, I'd be very worried."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"It's very simple, Yiguan, the experience you have accumulated over the years, your current net worth, and your future path make me trust you more than I trust my subordinates who have been cultivated single-handedly, or the military generals who have always been reciprocal. Your foundation is on the sea, not like the gentry and vassal kings of Shanxi, Ludi, Nanzhili, Huguang, and Zhejiang, who rely on concentrating land to enrich themselves. You won't be bribed by ***, not only because they can't afford to pay you the price, but also because, no matter how skilled they are at arching horses and killing people, their vision and their perception of the world are probably not as good as a small sailor in your Hirado Port. Once they snatch the Daming Dynasty, they will definitely change from jackals, tigers and leopards to frogs at the bottom of the well, close off the country, and be arrogant. Yiguan, you are a capable person who wants to rely on opening the sea to run for the future, will you look at the best minds and use them as gunmen?"

Being depicted by Zheng Haizhu as if he were depicting his thoughts, Zheng Zhilong smiled convincingly.

That's exactly what happened.

But today, before starting to discuss how to cooperate with Mu Zaohua, Zheng Zhilong still has to reveal the new cognition and inventory in his heart.

"Sister, I have to say ugly things in front, of course I don't look down on being a slave to ***, and I won't show weakness to foreign monkeys like Frankie and Red Hair, but, just because I, like Brother Yan, are people with mountains overseas, so if the Ming court doesn't know how to treat me well, Lao Tzu will definitely pick and choose, and it's best to persuade you to leave." Take your Chongming Zheng Ziying, isn't it good for us to eat and drink spicy food overseas, what kind of life do you sell to the Zhu family?"

Zheng Haizhu sighed lightly and said slowly, "I understand everything you said. However, the roots are here, reluctant. Besides, Yiguan, who knows what will happen in the future, but let's not talk about being loyal ministers and good generals, let's just talk about the matter of sea trade and goods, is it because we may encounter a storm in the ocean, so we won't sail out to sea?"

Zheng Zhilong touched his nose, took a sip of wine, nodded and said, "Well, this reason is right. At present, the emperor and his son are still willing to listen to you, and the court has never given Brother Yan small shoes to wear. Okay, the ancestors of the people of the Ming Dynasty are also my ancestors, those of the same clan and clan, who can be saved. I will listen to your orders, clean up ***, and let the people of Liaodong suffer less."

"Okay, the first step, your people, first try to get two things, copper and Ah Phi Mu ointment, and go to the vicinity of Phi Dao, and Xu San will answer you. Before the jujube flower is successful, Mao Wenlong, Xu San's father-in-law, will not know that we have someone rooted in Hetuala."

Zheng Zhilong knew about the evil stuff introduced from the South Seas.

When he was a groom official in Hirado, he once told his wife to beware of Li Dan's son Li Guozhu coming to seek revenge.

Unexpectedly, Li Guozhu, a wolf cub who was still a little ruthless when he set up a naval battle in Penghu to kill Yan Siqi, became a waste in just a few years because he was stained with Ah Piao's mother ointment, which made Li Dan so angry that he directly put the unangry evil barrier under house arrest at home.

Zheng Zhilong then said to Zheng Haizhu: "Okay, I know, Tong and Ah Flutter Mu Ointment, give it to Xu San, but don't let anyone outside his team know. When that's done, my people will leave, and nothing else will be asked."

……

Er Zheng said that it was at the beginning of Shen that the discussion was over.

Zheng Zhilong went to the newly bought house in Beijing to watch his cronies take care of it, including exploring the surrounding neighborhood, how to arrange his own organs, and how to hide the soldiers used in the courtyard.

Zheng Haizhu took a few new bodyguards given to her by Zheng Zhilong and walked north of the city.

Last year, Huang Zude, the head of the Jinyi Guard, after completing the trip to Shandong to escort Zhu Youxiao and Zheng Haizhu, got the permission of his old boss, Liu Qiao, the governor of Beizhen Fusi, and according to Zheng Haizhu's previous plan, he went to Ma Xianglin and Man Gui in Xuanzhen, waiting for the early summer of this year, as soon as the silver of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War was in place, he and the two generals, as well as Wenchen Huang Zunsu and Jin Shang Chang Zhongxin, took men and horses, went out of the jam to the vicinity of the Daling River, repaired and operated Daning Town, as a military key point to resist Jianzhou. To the north, it is an important border trade place for trade and mutual markets with Mongolia.

After Huang Zude left, Liu Qiao mentioned that he would find a bodyguard for Zheng Haizhu from the brocade guard.

Anyway, even the Long Live Lord specially told the Jinyi Guard to command Luo Sigong, Zheng Haizhu and Jianzhou ***, the old Jin Shang and Shandong Jin

The gentry have a feud, and this feud is completely different from Donglin's contempt and suppression of her, and it will kill her, so she can't be cut off by her side.

However, Zheng Haizhu was not ready to entrust his personal safety to the emperor's personal security system, so he asked Zheng Zhilong to choose someone from his Fujian villagers in Pingdo.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong sent the best over.

Several bodyguards all started as sailors, needless to say, with tenacious wills and good physical fitness, the key is that they often encounter the pirate ships of the Japanese Kingdom to go to war, and they have practiced a handsome hand-to-hand combat kung fu, and can speak Hokkien with Zheng Haizhu, and the enemy can't understand the communication at critical moments.

Zheng Haizhu is initially satisfied, but he will definitely have to do a few tests.

Today is one time.

Under the slanting sun, Zheng Haizhu took the guards and came to a house in Hairpin Hutong near Shichahai.

"Wait at the door, don't come in. It's Shenzhong now, and I'm coming out at the end of the unitary period. During this time, no one is allowed to enter the house, neither you nor outsiders."

"Understood, ma'am."

Among the new bodyguards, the leader is twenty-five or sixteen years old, named Cai Feng, who sounds like a woman's name, and he is not burly, but his temples are bulging, his hands and feet are wide, and his eyes are shining.

Zheng Haizhu crossed the threshold, but only covered the two very inconspicuous wooden doors, and did not insert the latch from the inside.

Cai Feng said to the other bodyguards with an expressionless face, "Separate guards, like in the past on the sea boat."
